INFORMATION CONCERNING PAMPHLET ENTITLED "NEO-COLONIALISM AND U.S. IMPERTALISM," AUTHORED BY HENRY ‘WINSTON, A VICE CHAIRMAN, COMMUNIST PARTY, USA, AND TO BE ISSUED BY THE "WORLD MARXIST REVIEW"
A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during mid-March, 1964, advised as follows:
The “World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the international communist movement, which head- quarters at Prague, Czechoslovakia, is about ready to print and issue a pamphlet entitled "Neo-Colonialism and U.S. Imperialism." This pamphlet will carry the name of Henry Winston, a Vice Chairman, Communist Party, USA, as its author and will be initially published in English and then translated into the three other major languages - Russian, French and Spanish.
While Henry Winston is listed as the atithor of this pamphiet and the utilization of his name was considered essential in order to give the subject authority, the actual research work which went into the preparation and the physical work of preparing this document was done mostly by staff members of the "World Marxist Review." Winston, however, is fully aware of the contents of this pamphlet and did spend time going over the material with staff members of the "World Marxist Review" while he was in Prague, Czechoslovakia, during December, 1963,

COMMUNIST PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN
A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during mid-March, 1964, advised as follows:
Norman Freed, Communist Party (CP) of Canada representative to the "World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the international communist movement, which headquarters at Prague, Czechoslovakia, while en route to Canada for a vacation stopped over in Great Britain, During this stopover, he had met with John Gollan, General Secretary, CP of Great Britain. According to Freed, the essence of Gollan’s remarks at this time was as follows.
The CP of Great Britain desires to be left alone and does not want to become involved in any way in the current ideological dispute between the CP of the Soviet Union and the CP of China. The CP of Great Britain is proud of the fact that this Party has not been diverted by the Sino-Soviet dispute and is happy that at its last convention this matter had not been taken up. Since the CP of Great Britain wants no part in this dispute and it, therefore, does not support at this time any conference or meeting of Communist and Workers Parties to discuss this problem.
In a recent meeting with Palmiro Togliatti, head of the CP of Italy, that individual also voiced opposition to a conference of Communist and Workers Parties. Togliatti feels that any such conference in 1964 would cause an irrevocable split in the socialist camp, He is also worried about the results such a conference would have on the internal situation within the Italian CP, It is for this reason then that Togliatti is currently raising within the Italian CP the slogan "Unity but diversity and autonomy." Togliatti favors only periodic consultive meetings of the world communist movement.

STATUS OF COMMUNIST PARTIES ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
Δ source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, during mid-March, 1964, advised as follows.
Based upon contacts with a number of leading representatives of Communist Parties from the European socialist countries and on a recent trip to Indonesia which had taken him through India and Ceylon where he had also met with Leading Party people, Norman Freed, Communist Party (CP) of Canada representative to the "World Marxist Review," official theoretical organ of the international communist movement, which headquarters in Prague, Czechoslovakia, provided the following observations,
In their current ideological dispute with the CP of the Soviet Union, the CP of China could probably gather a maximum of ten parties, other than splinter groups from existing Communist Parties, that would come out and openly support their viewpoint. As a result, this would be the maximum number of parties that would be expected to line up behind the CP of China should the CP of the Soviet Union request and schedule an international conference of Communist and Workers Parties in an effort to resolve existing dif- ferences. The parties which at this time would reportedly support the CP of China are as follows: Albanian Party of Labor; Korean Party of Labor; the Communist Party of Japan; the Communist Party of Malaya; the Communist Party of New Zealand; the Communist Party of Indonesia; the Communist Party of Burma - this party, however is split, but the Majority of the membership as well as the party's leadership Side with the CP of China; the Communist Party of Ceylon -
STATUS OF COMMUNIST PARTIES Ε
ALIGNED WITH THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
this party is also split with the majority of the leadership, though perhaps not the majority of the overall membership, being in the Chinese camp; the Workers Party of Viet Nam - this party is a subject of immense pressures from the CP of China and is caught in the middle. Because of geographical location, it depends upon the CP of China for all or most
of its aid, It carries strong fears regarding invasion from South Viet Nam and, therefore, it feels that it cannot desert the CP of China if it expects protection and aid from the Peopies Republic of China, While HO Chi-minh, head of the party and leader of the country, personally does not favor a Split within the worid communist movement, the majority of his party's leadership are with the Chinese and will follow the CP of China,
While the CP of India still does not give majority support to the CP of China, the strength of the pro-Chinese element within that party has been increasing on a steady basis over the past few months,

\ forestall the return of Henry Winston, Vice-Chairman, Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) to Russia.
Winston returned to the United States on 2/27/64, after having resided in Russia since September, 1961. For the past two and a half years, Winston, a Negro whose prison sentence for conspiracy to violate the Smith Act was commuted on 6/30/61, because of the loss of his eyesight, had been receiving medical treatment in Russia.
He also has been placed on exhibition by the Soviet Union and other European communist nations as an example of "capitalist sadism" and of racial discrimination and brutality against Negroes in the United
States, ema lesk)
At recent press conferences, Winston has stated he return}
| ed from Russia in connection with his civil suit against the U.5. Government. (Winston has filed a one million dollar civil suit against the U.S. Government claiming that negligence of prison author~ ities had resulted in the loss of his eyesight) Winston stated he would return to Russia to complete his medical treatment after testimony in his civil suit is completed. He indicated that upon \/ his return to Russia he would study the advances of socialism and would make these experiences available to the people of the United , States when he again returned to this country.
Ἷ It is, of course, against our best interests to allow Winston to return to Russia. Winston has great propaganda value to the world communist movement and is able to invoke terrific emotional] | appeal wherever he travels because of his allegations that he was tortured and blinded by "reactionary U.S. prison authorities." By allowing Winston to once more return to Russia would only enable him to continue his anti-American activity from the point where he Left off prior to his recent return,to this country.

Memorandum to Mr. Baumgardner RE: SOLO 100.4 2800}
In an effort to forestall Winston's return to Russia, it is deemed desirable to consider having CG 5824-~S*, commensurate with informant's Security, take up with CPUSA General | Secretary Gus Hall that Winston's return. to_ ‘Russia would ¢ not 1 be in the best interest
Sn ae ee
of the CPUSA. “Informant could note the recent newspaper publicity
to Hali's attentjon that Winston during his stay in Russia had acted in a very authorgtative manner and had incurred the wrath of the | Soviets by his arrogance, In this connection, CG 5824-S* while
in Moscow, Russia, during December, 1962, observed that as a result of the royal treatment Winston was receiving in Russia, he had become hypnotized by his own importance, and was acting as if he
was still the Party's Organizational Secretary and as "heir
apparent." NY 694-S* while in Moscow in May, 1963, was told by
igor Michaelov, an official of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union that Winston was most difficult to get along with. Michaelov noted that six Soviet translators assigned
to Winston had quit, and no one, including stenographers, could

SUBJECT:
ReCGairtel dated February 18, 1964,
As the Bureau is aware, HENRY WINSTON, a Vice Chairman, Communist Party, USA (CP, USA), returned to the United States on February 27, 1964. Previously, as set forth in reCGairtel, CG 5824-S* reported information from GUS HALL which was to the following effect:
HALL indicated that in a recent letter WINSTON had noted that medical treatment in the Soviet Union had not been completed. Based on this, HALL surmised that perhaps WINSTON got wind of plans for an international conference and might attempt to use this excuse of further medical treatment as a guise to get him back to the Soviet Union.
On February 29, 1964, the "New York Times" in an article appearing on page 13 noted the following:
At a press conference, WINSTON noted that he had
gone to the Soviet Union in 1961 for medical treatment,
He stated he hoped to return for further treatment before
returning permanently to this country to help the Negroes
in their struggle for freedom. Earlier, in this same inter- h view, it was noted that WINSTON had returned to the United ὦ States in connection with a million dollar lawsuit outstanding K xs against the Government.
ΝΕ On March 5 and 7, 1964, CG 5824-S* diseussed the CN FA matter concerning a possible return of HENRY WINSTON to the WAY Soviet Union, particularly in the case where an international Wg conference might be scheduled for that time. In the opinion

Soviet Union as well as official Party publications in Hungary, German Democratic Republic, Bulgaria, and other socialist countries, printed hundreds of such articles, published similar number of photographs on various aspects of WINSTON's activities, contacts, statements, and the like while in those countries,
Source then noted that while he felt a return to the Soviet Union by WINSTON could bedtrimental, the overall effects of such a victory by WINSTON could even be more devastating. This would be true in light of other recent court decisions dealing with passport matters. In the source's opinion, he feels that should WINSTON successfully return to the Soviet Union, other individuals, like BOB THOMPSON, would renew for themselves on the basis of humanitarian reasons their efforts to go abread, In addition, other communists, Like OTTO WANGERIN of Chicage, would be able to build a stronger case based on these same humanitarian grounds to have passports issued to them for travel to socialist countries for medical reasons,
He also noted that with the precedent of such cases and recent court decisions, there is a strong likelihood that ambitious people of the stature of JIM JACKSON, a newspaperman, and BEN DAVIS, a Negro spokesman, might make strong appeals for issuance of passports on their behalf.
In making the above comments, CG 5824-S* stated he had raised this only to bring it to the Bureau's attention, feeling that they might like to consider at this tine the ramifications of the problem.

"The Letter of the Central Committee of the GPSU to the Central Committee of the CP of China, is undated, but reflects that
it is a reply to the letter of the CP of China dated February 27, Copies of the above~described letters are enclosed herewith
for the Bureau and Chicago.
The above-mentioned letters reflect the continuing polemics between the CPSU and the GP of China, each party charging the other with responsibility for the acrimonious dispute between the parties. The Soviet letter, referring to a Chinese letter of February 29, which was not made available to the informant by KOLOBASHKIN, reflected that the Central Committee of the CP of China had agreed with the Soviet opinion that anotherbilateral meeting be held of the representatives of the CPSU and the CP of Ghina. The said Soviet letter further reflected that the Chinese proposal was that such a meeting be held in October,1964.
On page 12 of the aforementioned Soviet Letter appears the following: "Guided by these considerations, the Central Committee of the-CPSU proposes: (1) ‘To resume the meeting between the representatives of the GPSU and CPC in Peking in May, 1964. (2) To convene the prepdtory conference of the representatives of 26 fraternal parties in June-July, 1964,
(3) To convene the international conference in consultations with fraternal parties in the Fall of 1964,
After giving NY 694-s* the above-mentioned Soviet and Chinese letters, KOLOBASHKIN stated that although he and NY 694-S* had previously arranged to meet on March 31, at which time KOLOBASHKIN was to give the informant more money, these arrangements would have to be changed, KOLOBASHKIN stated that he would not be in the position to give the informant money on March 31, but that he would meet NY 694<S* at the "Armstrong" rendezvous on that date to advise him when KOLOBASHKIN would would transfer to him more money from the Soviets. KOLOBASHKIN stated that to date he has no information reflecting that any sum in excess of $300,000.00 is to be given to the CPUSA by the GPSsU.
NY 100-134637
With respect to GUS HALL's suggestion, transmitted by KOLOBASHKIN to Moscow, that consideration be given to the formation of a new Comintern, KOLOBASHKIN stated that as yet he has no information as to how the Soviets in Moscow reacted to this suggestion. He said, however, that the Soviets at the Mission to the United Nations consider the suggestion excellent. KOLOBASHKIN further stated that he anticipated that the Soviets in Moscow would furnish the reactions to HALL's suggestion re the Comintern via radio,
In the course of their meeting, KOLOBASHRIN and NY 694-S* agreed that the walkie-talkie operation to date has proved ineffective and that some other means must be devised whereby they can arrange for contact.

NY 694-S* in handling the clandestine Solo apparatus receives ciphered radio messages from the Soviets. Some of these messages are of considerable length, and the use of a tape recorder would enable NY 694-S* to replay ‘ these messages at any desired speed. Thus, if NY 694-5* is ever presented with the question by the Soviets as to how he can receive lengthy messages on the initial trans- mission, he will have a convincing answer which can be proven by the possession of a tape recorder, By telephone call to ASAC Roney of the New York Office, 3/24/64, the question of whether the Soviets would consider it a security violation for NY 694~-S* to utilize a tape recorder was taken up, ASAC Roney advised that this matter had already peen discussed with informant who stated that the use of a tape recorder for this particular operation is considered standard practice, Informant also noted that the Soviets are aware that he has a hearing: impairment and would raise no question concerning his-use of a tape recorder.

SINO-SOVIET RELATIONS
Summary o£ letter from the Central Comuittee, Communist Party of China, to the Central Committee, Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, dated February 27, 1964 "
The Gentrai Committee of the Communist Party of China acknowledged a letter from the Central Committee oz the Communist Party of the Soviet Union dated February 20, 1964, and déseribed the Soviets? letter as a clumsy attempt to shift the blame on someone else. The Communist Party of China indicated it had "asked," not “denanded, that it be furnished the letter of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union dated February 12, 1964, which was sent to other fraternal parties. The Communist Party of China noted that in the usage of these two words in the Chinese language there is no big difference.
The Communist Party of China accused the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of indulging in “idle jabbering," and warned thet no matter how formidable the Soviets are trying to look, they only reminded the Chinese of "spears with silvery tin heads,"
. The Communist Party of China concluded that if the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is sure that its menbers and the Sovict people are politically matured and capable of telling the truth, the Communist Party of China was proposing that a mutual publication of documents be made setting forth the positions of each Party.

The Soviets rejected the proposal of the Chinese calling for the mutual publication of documents setting forth the position of each Party in the ideological dispute. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union warned that the publication by the Comaunist Party of China of slander against the foreign and domestic policies of the Soviet Union including the allégation that the foviet Union has entered into a “plot with American imperialism" will arouse feelings of indignation among the Soviet people. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union charged that the polemics carried out
by the Chinese have already exceeded the limits of an ideological dispute and have heen turned inte an lastriment ox struggle against the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and against the intarnettionel communist acvesient as a whole.
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union pointed ont that ite letter of February 12, 1964, which was sent to several fraternal parties, contained no secrets, and, in fact, contained nothing that had not been said by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to the leaders of the Communist Paxty of China long before. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union charged the Communist Party of China with using thia letter as a ground for charging the Communist Party οὗ the Soviet Union of conducting "secret" anti~Chinese ROTLVLEY «

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union also neknowledged receipt of a letter from the Communist Party of China dated February 29, 1964, which ia described as 2 delayed answer to the letter of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union dated Navember 29, 1965. The Communist Party of the Soviet Union took note of the fact thet the Comaunist Party of China had agreed with the need to renew bilateral meetings of Sino-Soviet representatives, and ta thereafter convene a conference of 11 fraternal parties.
In view of this, the Commmist Party of the Soviet Union made the following proposals: (1) to resume the meeting between the representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet. Union and the Communist Party cf China in Peking, China, in May, 1964; (2) to convene a preparatory conference of the representatives of 26 fraternal parties in June-July, 1964; and (3) to convene the international conference in consultations with fraternal narties in the Fall of 1964,

The Communist Party (CP) of the Soviet Union in February, 1964, circulated amongst certain fraternal parties a confidential letter suggesting that there might be a necessity for calling an international conference of all Communist and Workers Parties which would seek aut a solution to the Sino-Soviet ideological differences. Certain fraternal parties, among which were the Rumanian Workers Party and the CP of Italy, requested that the CP 7 of the Soviet Union hold in abeyance any positive planning vA regarding stich a conference, However, prior to the | i issuance of its letter, the CP of the Soviet Union had i some discussion with representatives of the CP of France _ and convinced that Party to openly support such a conference.

SUBJECT: (bua 2 ‘ 15-Ὁ
As the Bureau is aware, NY 694~S* has been receiving ciphered radio messages from the Soviets for a considerable period of time. During this period, there have been several occasions when these messages were of unusual length. Although the length of the messages has been of no particular problem to our receiving personnel, it is believed, however, that this circumstance, at some future time, could beeome a security risk or, at least, a cause for suspicion toward NY 694-S*, This circumstance, the fact that NY 694-s* is experiencing no apparent. difficulty in receiving such lengthy messages, may become a toic of inquiry, by the Soviets, at a later date. a
{
In view of the above, it is the opinion of the NYO that one of the means by which NY 694-S* will be afforded maximum security in this, or similar circumstances, would be for NY 694~s* to have available to him a tape recorder which can record the ciphered radio messages and which can be replayed at any desired ' speed. Thus, if NY 694-S* is ever presented with the question as to how he can, himself, receive lengthy and involved messages on the initial transmission, he will have a ready and convincing answer which can be proved by the possession of a tape recorder.
The N¥O, therefore, is requesting Bureau authority to purchase a tape recorder, in an amount not in excess of $110.00, , from the confidential fund of the NYO, for the use of NY 694~s*

During his recent discussion with NY 694-S* in NYC, the latter individual made reference to the possibility, based on future developments regarding his wife, of initiating a Solo tlission to the Soviet Union. If such a mission develops, CG 5824-S* noted that it was his opinion that prior thereto some thought should be given and arrangements made for a method of communication by the CP, USA with NY 694-5" as well aS with the CPSU during the period that NY 694-S* would be Le absent from the country. He noted that for purpose of communi- cation, he has found that during the past two Solo Missions completed by him, that efforts to utilize the regular maiis are useless and that any material sent via regular mail has not reached him prior to his departure from the country. He further noted however that during the periods he has been abroad there has been such channel of communication available and he at all times Knew that in emergency situations NY 694-8* was maintaining the apparatus in NYC and that there was always the possibility of communication from the Party through such a το τοβεν He was also aware of the fact that any peed

A number of leading representatives of Communist Parties from the European communist countries recently made the following observations relative to the status of Communist Parties aligned with the Communist Party (CP) of China.
the Soviet Union, the CP of China could probably gather a maximum of ten parties, other than splinter groups from existing Communist Parties, that would openly support its viewpoint. As a result, this would be the maximum number of parties that would be expected to line up behind the CP of China should the CP of the Soviet Union request and schedule an international conference of Gommunist Parties in an effort to resolve existing differences, The parties which at this {ime would reportedly support the CP of China are as follows: Albanian Party of Labor; Korean Party of Labor; CP of Japan; ce of Malaya; CP ΟΣ Hes Zealand; cp of Indonesia; CP of Burma;

In accordance with Bureau instructions I spent yesterday afternoon talking to the above-captioned informant. It will be recalled that several months ago I talked with this same person in some detail about the desirability of devising an operation for the purpose of penetrating Cuba. We have been working on this matter every since. NY 694-S* has given the matter concentrated thought grounded in the many years of unique experiences which he has had. As a result of all this, the following plan of action has been devised.
(1) NY 694-S* will go to Gus Hall, suggesting that he prepare a letter to Castro, Cuban dictator, pointing out the inadequate relations existing between the Cuban Communist Party and the one in this country. The letter will explain the need for having closer and more efficient coordination of activities.
(2) This letter NY 694-S* will take with him on a trip to Russia; which he will make in April. In Russia he is confident he can get the support of the high-ranking officials to endorse this letter by Halil and also to provide the arrangements for travelling from Russia to Cuba in a Russian plane.
- (3) NY 694-S* will develop this matter to the point where the Soviets will not only endorse his trip and provide transportation put he will also have their prestige with him all the time he is in Cuba, and he will live in the Soviet community there during the days | spent in that country. {

financial difficulties, NY 694-8* will, therefore, discuss her entire assignment in Cuba with Castro.
(3) NY 694-S* will discuss with Castro the feasibility of establishing a small “business" front in the United States for the Communist Party, USA. The purpose of it would be to deal with some Cubans here who are interested in shipping food and some clothing to their relatives in Cuba. In substance, it would be a parcel shipping business. NY 694-S* has interested Hall in this becatlse the Party would make a little profit. It would be of interest to Castro because of items being sent into Cuba. And, it would be of great interest to NY 694-S5* and the FBI because the real purpose of this front would be to establish a permanent organizational reason for soing in and. out of Cuba. As N¥ 694-S* said, it would be our channel for espionage operations against Cuba. Depending upon the success of it, more persons could be drawn into it who could serve the aims of the FBL.
As I have previously mentioned, we have been working on this for some time and have probed all possible passages of the subject. Naturally, there will be some mechanical difficulties here and there that will have to be resolved, but they need not become serious obstacles, After having discussed this with NY 694-S* thoroughly, I am

NY 694~S* twice asked to be remembered to the Director. He was very anxious to know if the Director saw all this important material he develops. I assured him the Director sees every single bit of it and is thoroughly familiar with the entire operation. This pleased NY 694-5* very much.

The differences currently existing between the Rumanian Workers Party and the Communist Party (CP) of the Soviet Union encompass more than economic differences alone. Although the Rumanian Workers Party is not lined up with the CP of China, it is using the Sino-Soviet ideological dispute to apply more pressure on the Soviet Union in order that it can Secure more autonomy in its internal and international affairs. When the CP of the Soviet Union dispatched its letter of February 12, 1964, to various fraternal parties suggesting the possibility of holding an international conference to discuss the Sino-Soeviet dispute, the Rumanians indicated they did not favor such a meeting, ‘The pleaded that such a conference should not be held untii another effort has been made to prevent a split in the international communist movement.

(4) GUS HALL is aware of NY 694-s*'s plans to travel to the Soviet Union with ROSALYN, but, realizing . that the trip is essentially in the nature of a vacation for the informant and his wife, HALL has not instructed NY 694~s* to discuss any Party matters with the Soviets.
(5) NY 694-sS* did not request that the Soviets invite him and his wife to the Soviet Union. The recent Soviet invitation did not come as a surprise however, since, periodically, over the years, the Soviets have extended such invitations to the informant.

As of 3/25/64 CG 5824-S* advised that he has found
it physically impossible at this time for him to proceed to Canada for convention discussions; however, there is still remote possibility that he could drive to Toronto for a period of a day. Source noted that while his own health is not good, he feels that the responsibility of overseeing the operation \s the cover company in Chicago musttake precedence and, therefore, was a determining factor concerning his ability
to proceed to Canada at this time, As the Bureau is aware,
CS CG 6651-5 has been hospitalized and continues to be hospitalized and, therefore, is not available to handle cover company operations. In addition, source advised that during . the forthcoming week he musttravel to NYC to be available ~ .ᾳΗ for discussions relative to the National Executive Committee ome meeting and have discussions with NY 694~-S*.

Letter to Chicago RE: SOLO 100-428091
NOTE:
CG 5824-S* utilized the cover name of Harold Εἰ, Jules on the last three Solo missions and as a result the passport utilized under this name contains visas as well as entry and exit stamps associated with each mission, Continued use of this passport which shows so many trips within communist countries in a period of little more than one year could constitute a jeopardy to the security of this operation by drawing the attention of other intelligence agencies to CG 5624-S*, In view of this, it is deened prudent to establish another cover legend which will be avaitahte when needed. In this connection, Chicago has selected the name Sydney Smith Lesser from the records of the Vital Statistics in Chicago, whose age closely matches that of CG 5824-S*, A search of Chicago indices and ail available directories failed to reveal any record of Lesser in the Chicago area, SA Orin Bartlett determined that no passport had been issued in the name of Sydney Smith Lesser and that no stop has been placed against this name at the State Department.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF CANADA
Sources, which have furnished reliable information in the past recently obtained from representatives of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) the following information per- taining to the Communist Party (CP) of Canada.
The CP of Canada has apologized to CPUSA General Secretary, Gus Hall, for having endeavored to tone dewn certain arguments that Hall was intending to publish relative to the dissident action of the CP of China, The leadership of the CP of Canada now realizes, based on its own experiences, that Hall's estimate had been borne out and was correct.
The Canadian CP is experiencing some problems as a result of the differences which have been taking place between the older membership and the youth. Leslie Horris, General Secretary, CF of Canada, is not the dynamic Leader that Tim Buck was. Buck was oxtreniely popular with the membership of the Canadian CP and was constantly working directly with the membership, Morris, aithough a conpetent leader, seems content to remain aloof and has very little direct contact with the membership.
Because of the sensitive nature of our sources, it is essential that the contents of this memorandum be afforded careful security and its use restricted to a need- to-know basis.

As the Bureau is aware, the current cover legend for use on Solo Missions is the legend in the name of HAROLD M, JULES, It was under this cover that the llth, 13th and 14th Solo Missions were accomplished by CG 5824-5* on the following dates: October 16-December 17, 1962; August 7-25, 1963, and November 1-Becenber 2, 1953, In Θέ instance, the same "passport has been utilized and aS a result thereof, this paccpurct cuoutalfas visas and entry and exit stamps associated with each trip behind the Iron Curtain. As a matter of fact, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union arranged to make additional entries in his passport Since it was not deemed
© advisable by them for CG 5824-S*'s passport to reflect stays of such long duration in the socialist countries and, there-
a fore, his passport contains visas and entry and exit stamps ? indicating a total of five entries into Czechoslovakia, two εἶ sets on each of the llth and 14th Missions and one set on the
ς isth Mission, which was of much shorter duration. The Czech \@ visas fill almost a complete page each,
AN Continued use of a passport which shows so many
~ trips within the socialist countries in a period of little more than one year could very well constitute a jeopardy to the security of this operation, This amount of activity might very conceivably draw the attention of other intelli- gence services to our informant. Of course, it would be possible to make application for a new passport, although the current one is valid until September 27, 1965, and with one
_ renewal is valid until September 27, 1967, by reporting that
ὺ it has been lost or destroyed, However, the practice of the
fy Passport Office, United States Department of State, is not to
¥4 issue new passports on this basis until after "exhaustive
investigation," which includes the filing of affidavits and

told NY 694-S* however that he would change the time of delivering the money to 3:20 p.m. and that at 2:50 p.m., NY 694-S* will put the piece of black tape at the same telephone booth (Whitehall and Bridge Streets, telephone WH 4-9530). NY 694-S* advised that KOLOBASHKIN indicated that he would deliver the money “in a shopping bag" which indicates that they probably would not use the black bag that had been used on the previous occasion. KOLOBASHKIN told NY 694-S* that this will be the last time they will use this method of delivering the money; that at the next meeting whereby they would pass money it will be delivered in any one of the following three buildings whichever NY 694-S* chooses:
1. Midland Marine Trust Building, Liberty and Washington Streets, N¥C; which has two exits and automatic elevators;
2. 276 Fifth Avenue (between 29th and 30th Streets), NYC, which also has automatic elevators;
3. 5 Union Square, NYC, which building has automatic elevators.
KOLOBASHKIN indicated that the transaction will be made in the same manner as was done in the past, and when NY 694-S* again meets with KOLOBASHKIN on 4/7/64, ΝΥ 694-S% can tell him which of these three buildings he prefers to have the transaction take place,
KOLOBASHKIN advised NY 694-S* that in the money delivered on 4/7/64, there is a possbility that there may be an additional sum in the package which should be delivered to
JESSICA: SMITH (National Council of American-Soviet, Friendship).

KOLOBASHEIN told NY 694-S* that he did not know what the exact amount would be but that if this extra amount was not in the package, he will tell NY 694-S* what the amount should be and NY 694~-S*
can put it out for JESSICA SMITH and the Soviets will make it
up to him at a later date.
NY 100-134637
At this point, since it was extremely cold to continue walking, NY 694-S* and KOLOBASHKIN entered a restaurant, Constantine's, 153-33 Hillside Avenue, Jamaica, NY, where they had dinner and continued their discussions, KOLOBASHKIN told NY 694-S* that the Central Committee sent GUS HALL their regrets abou’, that book which they called{Judaism Without Varnish!” by T. Ke\KICHKO. KOLOBASHKIN indicatedNthat the Soviets were sorry about that book and that they admitted to him that the book was 4 mistake and that it was a mistake to have such a book written. KOLOBASHKIN then handed NY 694-S* two copies of an official press release of the Soviet Mission to the UN concerning this pool:, A Photostat of this release is attached for the information of the Bureau and Chicago as an enclosure. One copy was sent by NY 694-S* to GUS HALL.
KOLOBASHKIN also indicated to NY 694-S* that one of these days an official statement will be made by-top people in the Soviet Union stating that the book was not meant to be.
NY 694-S* told KOLOBASHKIN that GUS HALL was very angry about this book, that the Party had asked for it and the Russians had refused to send him the book. KOLOBASHKIN replied to NY 694-g%* that HALL must believe that they told the truth, that those in the Mission never saw the book and still have not seen it.
KOLOBASHKIN asked NY 694-S* to furnish him with a list of Americans who they can invite to their important functions and NY 694-S* told KOLOBASHKIN that it was up to GUS HALL and that he would bring it to HALL's attention again. KOLOBASHKIN said the pressure was being put on him about this. (NY 694-S* stated that HALL does not want to give them any such List.)
KOLOBASHKIN advised NY 694-S* that there is a possibility that there may not be a May ist reception this year at the Soviet UN Mission.
KOLOBASHKIN and NY 694-S* then discussed the latter’ trip and it was agreed that KOLOBASHKIN would notify the Soviets
-~-3-
NY 100-134637
of his departure, arrange for his being met and to have floating
visas waiting either in Washington or L im. NY 694-S* emphasized to KOLOBASHKIN the point οἵ GIL GREEN's ΓῚ going over and that he should be treated as a VIP. NY 694~S*
also mentioned the new code and indicated that KOLOBASHKIN welcomed it. (Bureau and Chicago will be advised by separate communication of the new code which contains additions of new and present day hraseology. fo phraseology.) es.
NY 694-S* advised that KOLOBASHKIN had nothing to say concerning yesterdays attack on the Soviet Union by the Chinese CP, but indicated that KOLOBASHKIN was of the opinion that the Chinese were violent because of the last Soviet letter and that in his opinion this was only the beginning.
With regard to the question acontact with CG 5824~-S*, NY 694-S*, afser discussing the photographs with KOLOBASHKIN concerning the "meets", stated that they agreed to make one wyision and that the revision is if no contact is made on either side by May 7th (while NY 694-S* is away), KOLOBASHKIN does not have to go to "Berkman" as instructed on the microfilm, but instead at 2:00 p.m. sharp, KOLOBASHKIN will telephone MU 5-9774. ΤῈ there is no answer it will mean that CG 5824-S* does not want to see him that day. However, if CG 5824-S* answers, he will identify hmself by saying, "Hello. This is Mr. Berkman. I would like to see you tomorrow at-7:00." This will mean that they will meet the next day, May 8, 1964, at ‘Berkman’ at 7:00 p.m, in the same manner. If there is no answer on the 7th of May, KOLOBASHKIN should call that number again on the 14th of May and have the same conversation with resulting meeting on the following day, the 15th of May, 1964,
NY 6494-S* advised KOLOBASKHIN that his camera was not
NY 100-134637
functioning properly for microfilming and told KOLOBASHKIN that in the event the latter has trouble developing the filn, KOLOBASHKIN should leave a piece of black tape behind the receiver on the telephone at Whitehall and Bridge Streets,

NY 694-S* agreed to give KOLOBASHKIN's regards to the Soviet security men when he goes across and that he will discuss with them the entire procedure of their "meets" and "χορ", NY 694-S* and KOLOBASHKIN agreed that so far they have been very lucky and that they will rely on the Soviets to make suggestions concerning new methods, new neighborhoods, etc., to which KOLOBASHKIN agreed.
NY 694-S* stated KOLOBASHKIN advised him (although he was no authority) that NY 694-S* should have no problem in getting into Cuba. -
NY 694-S* mentioned to KOLOBASHKIN that the film the Soviets have been giving him has been somewhat over-exposed, to which KOLOBASHKIN replied that "he would tell the chap who does it to watch out for it." (NY 694-S* stated that appasently KOLOBASHKIN is not doing it himself.)

REVIEW OF THE BOOK “JUDAISM WITHOUT VARNISH?
| The Kiev newspaper "Radyanska kultura” ("Soviet culture’) | has published a review by B,Lobovik and K.Yampolsky of the book “Judaism without varnish” by T.K, Kichke, published in Kiev,
| The book is one of several works on the modern problems
| " of atheism published in the Ukraine lately, |
| ᾿ ~The authors of the review write in part: ᾿ οἰ " τ δ
| “The preachers of judaism and. jewish bourgeois-national ist.
| historians and philosophers ‘seek to represent judaism as the age-.
ΝΙΝ old religion of the jewish people which, despite disolated modi-. _ ¥fieations, has allegedly remained unchanged in essence, is ΟΣ...
| _ great “cultural value”, and has preserved all its meaning and
Ν importance to our time”, πο τος ΕΞ
“Appearing in deep antiquity as ἃ twisted, fantastic reflec- | tion of the reality, which depended on the elemental forces of : nature, judaism, like all other religions, zealously served
the ruling, exploiting classes. It enmeshed the masses of believers in a stragweb, seeking to distract them fra class. struggle against jewish and non-jewish oppressors,” 7
"As pointed out correctly by the author”, the review con- : tinues, “the deep-going socio-economic changes which have oceured | in the USSR, the history-making victories scoped in the building ὁ . of socialism and communisn,. the rapid development of. science and. | technology, the ymparalleled flourishing of culture have | . resulted in a mass abandonment of religion, Realizing the ᾿ coe ΞΕ . _ insolvency and harm of religion,the majority of the jewish por - pulation in our country... have broken’ for ever with religion, «=... | freed themselves of religious obscurantism, and aré working =. 2°) - _ @onscientiously for the good of the motherland,” a
i ; i ; L ! ἶ |
the Soviet Union,
. .The working jews, together with the working people of other nationalities, worked with dedication at the construction - projects of the five-year plans, fought againgt the nazi invaders, and are now making their contribution to. the nation-wide cause of budding communism, Tens of thousands of Soviet jews have received orders and medals. Forty of them have been awarded the title of hero of socialist labour, and 99 the title of hero of
In the USSR, the working jews enjoy all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Works by jewtsh classics and modern jewish writers are brought out in large printings, A - jewish magazine “Sovietische Heimland” ("Soviet motherland”), is published: “All this is evidence of the triumph of the Leninist nationalities policy,”
At the same time, the reviewers point to some considerable
- Shortcomings of the book: “The author is mainly concerned to
demonstrate the reactionary role of judaism in an exploiting society, He frequently quotes the Bible and the Talmud, sometimes without real need for this, and. xpxoduces numerous statements by theologists instead of proving the insolvency of religion by
‘facts from contemporary life. When it comes to demonstrating the
ham caused by religion in our conditions, the author reduces everything to recounting the: unworthy conduct of individual members of the jewish clergy, and to some rather general obser-
vations...”.
"The book makes absolutely insufficient use of modern
‘science to combat religious ideology. In several cases the author
simply outlines the theological concepts on the relationship of religion and science without giving them a worthy appraisal, without criticising them, and restricts himself to declarative statements like the following one: “Of course, all this is non- sense,” | :
The author of the book presents several problems in a wrong light, the review stresses. "One cannot agree to his claim that the ancient jews, being conquerors, did not produce anything outstanding either in industry, farming, or culture, This is denied by scientific data.” ©
_ The book contains the erroneous statement that “after the emergence of zionism the spirit of nationalism gripped all the sections of the jewish population, This contradicts the histori- eal facts, contradicts the Leninists thesis about two nations in every nation,”
| “It does not follow from the fact that a certain part . of jewish artisans succumbed to the influence of the zionists that all the population was infected by the spirit of nationalism the author of the review states. Quite the opposite, the jewish proletaviat, the more advance part of the intelligentsia contri- buted actively to the establishment and activities of social- democratic organizations, participated in the revolutionary movement and bravely exposed the bundovites (Bund. -- petty bourgeois, nationalist party, which tried to isolate the. jewish Workers of Russia -< TASS), the zionists and other nationalists,
_Moreover, one of the reasons for ‘the energence of.zionism was — the struggle waged by the jewish bourgeoisie against. socialist ideas , which at that time penetrated deeply into the midst of the working jews. Just as of the working. people. of other natio- nalities for that matter.” 8 ==. °°. "
“Nor can one agree with that the author, in criticising zionism as a bourgeois nationalist movement, extends. this criticism to the internal life of the State of Isreal, For it is known that in addition to zionist organizations, Isreal has democratic, progressive organizations of workers which come out for peace and peaceful coexistence, for democratic Freedoms, — against colonialism and imperialiem.” _ . " ᾿
: “In general, it seems to us that it is inappropriate for a book devoted to the critique of a religious ideology to make appraisals (which are moreover not always correct) of the activi- ties of Isreal as a State, of its role in international relations’
oy Ege ες -
ἘΝ The book contains some slipshord formulations. which some- times lead to a distortion of individual propositions, “The author is mistaken in claiming that zgionism is ‘rooted in jucdaism, For it is known that jewish nationalism, as any other bourgeois nationalism, is rooted not in religious but in. social causes,: The author's thesis that in all capitalist States the rabbies,— together with the zipnists, serve the same aim of strengthening the State of Isreal is also inexact, First of all they serve to strengthen the existing system, the struggle against the revolu- tionary movement in their respective countries, to distract the jews from struggle for their class interests,” . ᾿ |
' The authors of the review point out that the makeup of
the book leaves much to be desired, Many drawings in the text
are pretentious and are “of low artistic standard and can only insult the believers,” a Ε

"As far as the paper is concerned there is not much to say, since we have a regular way of sending and receiving things, and aitho they don't indicate good, bad or indifferent, at least stuff gets in. By the way I have requests from other publications to send them stuff, so I have an indication that people are interested in what I have to say. 1 recommended a number of times, a questionnaire, ‘What people want to know about C...,' to give me a better contact with the readers. It would be good to have an answer to this,
"I got word about the 500, thanks a lot. T have written fo cond me 200 to pay some debts and keep the rest for my girl, who must come this summer - Moishe and Win know about this and I hope
they are arranging for it. She will be able to buy some things for me I can't get here and will need badly by then, and have some money to move around on, In the meantime, I have made arrangements for a regular income, it's not enough for the two of us, but we make it stretch. The only handicap is that I need
to run about a lot and taxis are expensive, ΤΕ I can get something every month in addition I could make it do and lift the burden from you. Perhaps Moishe can see if I can get a Scoda, it's the only car that can be serviced here and it would make my work and life easier,
"Now, the most important, relations with our big family. This simply does not exist, even for the closest relatives, There
is no conception or regular setup. I have tried to get around this by sending memos, proposals and offering materials for information, [ edit a bulletin making resume of events, opinions and trends,
as well as important statements of policy. They have all been well received and some of the items have found their way into
the press. However since the big fellow came back there is a noticeable change in that direction and I am hoping in good time things will be organized, I have spoken to Rod and he sees the need and the problem and is thankful for my efforts, but as yet I am waiting for the initial discussion of any proposals, My experiences in other places did not prepare me for this, but I
am learning fast to have patience. The proposal for F, to issue
8. statement or open letter to the A, people is most important at
NY 100-134637
"this time and I am trying everything to get it to his attention, All think it's a great idea and I am sure it will be done. I shall wire the paper, the moment I have something on that.
"There are many things I would like to talk about and would be most thankful if my cousin could come to see me, My cousin
should come here as soon as possible, May first there will be many visitors, altho travel conditions are bad for all.
“With regaxd to relations with other L.A. people. Have nad wany opportunities to do so, but to get to other places nas been
hard, altno not impossible. For example youth meeting, Chilean elections could be covered if a special request comes here from you. 1 cannot arrange such things in general, it must be specifically called for. The individuals one meets here have
come to rem@in and cannot help much with permanent contacts,
Irips would be desirable, Have been sending the paper some things from other places,
"There is much going on on all fronts here, It is dynamic and enthusiastic. Socialist forms of labor have taken Like a duck
to water, The election of vanguard workers is something new and interesting, I am doing a study of this and will send something in soon, The harvest is good in spite of the floods, industrialization is slow, many problems to solve and many handicaps of the past to overcome, but the technical revolution has begun in the sugar industry and that is basic. The food situation is good and getting better all the time. Social services and transportation have improved tremendously even in the short time I have been here.
The emphasis is on work, work discipline, production and education, With regard to us: They are worried about attitude Adminstration and openly feel there is not enough doing in their behalf,
‘When I came here six months ago, the big debate was raging,
The neutrality attitude was over weighted with either an attempt balance everything or more attention to the antagonists side, There was great sympathy for them far and wide, so much so that
~3-
NY 100-134637
“some people kept their ideas to themselves. And the Ch's worked harm, distributed tons of stuff, worked on everybody, There was a marked antagonism to us.
"Now L am happy to state, since the big fellow returned, there
is ἃ decided change. The Ch's are very quiet, at least openly, they are not in evidence in all the prominent places as was the case and their stuff isscarcer, The change began when the big fellow analyzed the ‘sad and grave event’ with such unusual brilliance and understanding, that many people began to ask
waht we stood for and how we see the situation. [{ gave them your statement of 1961, which they did not seem to be aware of here. They have had every statement since, altho I get it late, it shows our position and the trend in the country. It is very helpful,
NT hope the above will inform you of some things that you want
to know. I am not in a position to say many other things, but as I said before it must wait. Let me take this occasion to congratulate you and tell you how proud I am of your role in pushing our P into the direction of mass action to meet the wonderful period in which so much can be done. I am happy to
be as close to the change as I can. I found a few good people here I used to know who are of great help to me and they all
send their best regards and wishes to you and the rest of the comrades.

This is to advise of the latest developments concerning contemplated trip by NY 694-S* to Russia and Cuba.
. You will recall that as a result of a conference between
| Assistant Director Sullivan and NY 694-S* on 3-23-64, a plan of action was devised to have NY 694-S* penetrate Cuba. In connection with
this matter, it was decided that NY 694-S8* approach Gus Hall, General
Secretary, Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), and advise Hall that informant
was contemplating going to Moscow in April, 1964, and suggesting that
Halil give informant a letter to Cuban Premier Castro pointing out
the need to improve relations between the Castro regime and the CPUSA.
NY 694-S* would then take this letter with him to Moscow where he
would develop this matter with the Soviets to the point where the
Soviets will endorse his trip to Cuba and provide him transportation
there,
inn,
On 3=27-64, NY 694-S* furnished the following information concerning his discussion with Hall relative to this matter. | y
| Hall was very pleased that NY 694-S* was contemplating
a trip to Moscow and indicated that this would give informant an opportunity to learn the most recent developments with respect to I, the Sino-Soviet dispute.
NY 694=S* then raised the question of visiting Cuba upon | leaving Moscow. Hall stated that in view of the current situation in Cuba, he would be most interested in having informant go to ] Cuba.

Hail stated that he would give informant a letter to Castro suggesting that steps be taken to improve relations between | the Castro régime and the CPUSA, Halil agreed that NY. 694-S* while | in Moscow should also obtain a letter to Castro from the Soviets requesting that every εν» be shown to NY 694=5* ph in Cuba.

Buring January, 1964, representatives from the
Communist Parties of Canada and Bulgaria visited Indonesia
as gilests of the Communist Party (CP) of Indonesia and
were provided with an extended tour of Indonesia. White

Kennedy and was still in the process of ΡΣ continuing discussions with this individual. Aidit stated ait that President Sukarno indicated he had promised Attorney General Kennedy that there would be no confrontation of forces of y, Indonesia and Malaysia at that time. Sukarno explained that ἢ a he made this promise because yndinesia yas not then in a SN bosition "to do, it right nowy) ee Aidit, Sukar φ!

further explained that "by avoiding a fight with the Americans at that time, they had also avoided enabling the Americans to save the British in that area." Aidit described Sukarno as representing the "left section of the bourgeoigse,"
Qn the topic of natisnalization of industry, Aidit commented that there is a complete take over by the government oF private ownership. He noted, however, that there is also a form of nationalization known as "Indonesianization" which involves the replacement of foreign technicians and workers by Indonesian technicians and workers, Under this form of Nationalization, the Indonesian technicians and workers are given the power to operate plants and the state does not take over the physical ownership of the property.
In regard to the timber of persons of Chinese ancestry residing in Indonesia, Aidit remarked that they humber approximately four million. One half of these, he noted, desired and have asked to be allowed to return to the Peoples Republic of China. The other half of these Chinese constitute the upper-class and well-to-do Chinese, at least by Indonesian Standards, and they desire to remain, When those who have indicated a desire to return to the Peoples Republic of China finally return, the Peoples Republic of China will take possession of their property in Indonesia, liquidate it, and turn over a portion of the proceeds to the CP of indonesia, in this nanner, the CP of China can give the CP of Indonesia subsidies and aid without a direct allocation or transfer of funds from the Peoples Republic of China. In addition, Aidit
/
Director | Bureatt of Intelligence and Research Department of State
retaarked that many of the Chinese who are remaining in Indonesia make substantial contributions to the Peoples Republic of China, and some of these funds are also given\in part to the CP of Indonesia as financial subsidies PX
In regard to the CP of Indonesia, Aidit noted that it has 55 per cent of the Armed Forces and 85 per cent of the personnel of the Air Force in its hands. He indicated that the CP of Indonesia has three-and-one-half million members. He believed that in any election, it could draw 50 per cent of the total vote. Aidit, however, pointed out that the CP of Indonesia was not interested at this point in urging that any elections he held,
Aidit remarked that throughout Indonesia, the CP has established an extensive network of schools. These schools range from those teaching basic courses in reading and writing to regularly scheduled Party educational Classes, He indicated that it is the belief of the CP of Indonesia that it must educate the people in order that they can he taught to read and understand Party naterial,
In discussing socialism, Aidit remarked that the only two countries in the world today building socialism are the Peoples Republic of China and North Korea, The Soviet Union, in Aidit's opinion, is not building socialism, but is only building capitalism and wilt someday fully revert back to capitalism. Aidit gave the following examples for his reasoning,
Director Bureau of Intelligence and Research Department of State
When he was in Moscow recently, he needed a shirt and had to pay 35 rubles for it. Later when in New York City and needing a similar shirt, he purchased it for $3.50.
The shirt he purchased in New York City was of a better quality. The Russians wanted to make more profit than the United States capitalists did on this same item. When in Sochi, Russia, Aidit found individual Russians who had apartments and were renting out rooms, He described this as capitalism. In addition, he noted that the peasants in Russia have private plots of land from which they can sell their products. This he described as another example of capitalism. He also
noted that in the Soviet Union the trials and convictions
of embezzlers prove that there is capitalism in the
Soviet Union Dag
Aidit expressed his conception of the three types of communist parties in the world today. First he stated there are the Communist Parties of China, Albania,
North Korea and Indonesia, which are definitely Marxist- Leninist communist parties. Secondly, there are the communist parties with Marxist-Leninist memberships, but with revisionist leaderships. Finally there are those communist parties whose leaderships as well as memberships are all revisionist. According to Aidit, into this latter category falis the CP of the Soviet Union
Aidit advanced the theory that communism cannot be built in the world today as long as imperialism continues to exist anywhere. To attempt to build communism under such conditions, he noted, it must necessarily be done at the expense of the more backward nations. He believed that those countries. which try to build communism, with ESC

Director Bureau of Intelligence and Research Department of State
existence of imperialism in the world, will become
"rich, fat cats" at the expense of the backward countries and will lose their revolutionary spirit, Aidit stated he agreed with the theory of the CP of China that it is best not to build up a country's abundance while surrounded by imperialism because "you will lose that revolutionary spirit," He noted that if communism could be built with imperialism Still existing, it would require an accumulation of capital, Even if this could be done, he remarked, it should not because this accumulation should be given to the building of the more backward nations, In Aidit's opinion, you have only to look at the Soviet Union where there has been
built a higher standard of Living and you will find tbat the Soviets have lost their revolutionary ἜΣ;
ΑΒ to the personal observations of the representatives from the Communist Parties of Canada and Bulgaria during their tour of Indonesia, they indicated there was much that they saw which was shocking, For example, they noted, when you walked into villages, you saw people starving. A person thirty years of agé is considered old, In some villages, half of the population is blind and suffering from glauconato}

According to Aidit, in early January, 1964, President Sukarno told him that just prior thereto he had geen United States Attorney General Robert F, Kennedy and was still in the process of continuing discussions with this individual, Aidit stated that President Sukarno indicated he had promised Attorney General Kennedy that there would be no confrontation of forces of Indonesia and Malaysia at that time, Sukarno explained that he made this promise because Indonesiaz was not then in a position "to do it right now," and that “by avoiding a fight with the Americans at that time, they had also avoided enabling the Americans to save the British in that area.” Aidit described Su Ὁ a5 representing the “left section of the bourgeoise, ἢ

‘Aidit, however, pointed out that the Indonesian σου πὶ arty is not interested at this point in urging that any elections be held, Aidit romarked that throughout Indonesia the Communist Party has established an extensive network of schools, These schools range from those teaching basic courses in reading and writing to regularly scheduled Party educational classes, He indicated that it is the belief of the Communist Party of Indonesia that it must educate
the people in order that ἢ an be taught to read and understand Party material. ρα.
ΕΞ Concerning the Soviet Union | ) a
Aidit cemarked that the only two countries in the world today building socialism are the Peoples Republic of China and North Korea, The Soviet Union, in Aidit's opinion, is not buliding socialism but is only building capitalism and will someday "fully revert back to capitadisn." Aidit gave the following examples for his reasoning,
When he was in Moscow recently, he needed a shirt and had to pay 35 rubles for it, Later, when in New York City and needing a similar shirt, he purchased it for $3.50, The shirt he purchased in New York City was of a better quality, ‘The Russians wanted to mugke more profit than the United States capitalists did on this same item, When in Sochi, Russia, Aidit found individual Russians who had apartments and were renting out rooms, He deseribed this as capitalism, He alse noted that in the Soviet Union the trials and convictions of embegzlers prove that there is capitalism in the Soviet Union)
Aidit advanced the theory that communism cannot be built in the world today as long as imperialism continues to exist anywhere. He believed that those countries which try to build communism, with the existence of imperialism in the world, will become “rich, fat cate” at the expense of the hackward countries and will lose their revolutionary spirit, Aldit noted that if communism could be built with
imperialism still existing it would require an “aoe . |

ould not because this accumulation should be given to the bullding of the more backward nations. In Aidit's opinion, you have only to look at the Soviet Union where there has been buiit a higher standard of living and you will find that the Soviets have lost their revolutionary orvort Ks

Aidit remarked that there were approximately 4 million persons of Chinese ancestry residing in Indonesia, One half of these, he noted, desired and have asked to be plilowea to τοῦτ te the Peuples Republic of Ciilua, Waoen those who have indicated a desire to return to tho Peoples Republic of China finally return, the Peoples Republic of Ching will take possession of their property in Indonesia, liquidate it and turh over ἃ portion of the proceeds to the Communist Party of Indonesia as financial subsidies, In addition, Aidit stated that many of the Chinese who are remaining in Indonesix make substantial contributions to the Peoples Republic of China and some of these funds are also given in part to the Communist Party of Indonesia as financial subsidies. oC ΧΑ]

As to the personal observations of the repre- sentatives from the Communist Parties of Canada and Bulgaria during their tour of Indonesia, they indicated there was much that they saw which was shocking.

τος (5.38 RNAL SECURITY - C
By airtel 3/26/64 New York has submitted twenty-five blank copies of New York State Motor Vehicle Department operators licenses and has requested that the Laboratory duplicate an operator's license in the name of Rosalyn Pearl Citron. Two valid New York State driver's licenses of two New York Special Agents were also submitted for our assistance.
ASAC Don Roney called to advise that certain of the IBM printed numbers on these driver's licenses are in code form and the code key must be taken into account in the preparation of the requested license.
He said the 13th, 14th and 15th digits at the top of the card are obtained by multiplying the month from the date of birth by 63. The day of the month should then be multiplied by two and the product added to the above calculation, If the person in whose name the license is being made is a female 1 should be added to the total. In this instance the date of birth is 7/2/15. 7 is multiplied by 63 and the answer is 441, The date of the month is 2 which is multiplied by 2, the answer being 4 and when added to 441 the product is 445. Since the subject is femalel ,. is added so that the 13th, 14th and 15th digits are 446. ‘i
i
The first five digits of the number are coded to spell the name of the individual; however, ASAC Roney was not able to explain precisely how this code worked but instead requested that the first five digits to be used be C-09746.
He stated that the over-all number then will be C-09746, five digits, two digits, 446 and then one digit or using x's for the numbers that do not matter the number should appear C-09746 xxxxx xx446x,
He suggested that the expiration date on the license be 12/31/66. ASAC Roney stated that the validating stamp appearing at the bottom of the license is not in code and any numbers we desire may be used. He did suggest that the date included in the validating stamp be approximately the same date as that appearing on the enclosed driver's license of SA Neil P. Divers, 37 P 7

During this conversation, acording to the informant, SHUVALOV related to KOLOBASHKIN details concerning the recent arrival in the NY Residency of three portable radio: transmitters and receivers which had just been sent to him and to HERMAN LEVAKOV by Headquarters for ultimate dispatch to illegal agents of KGB.
At the conclusion of this conversation, KOLOBASHKIN entered the office of Colonel BORIS IVANOV, head of the KGB Residency in NY, and told IVANOV what had Just been Pelutveud vo Lin vy SHUVALOVY vooverning these padlo sets, KOLOBASHKIN said he was reporting this matter to IVANOV in view of the recent instructions received from KGB Headquarters in Moscow directing that stricter security measures be employed in each residency, and specifically directing KGB personnel not to talk "business" at any time, even with their co-workers,
Informant said that Colonel IVANOV commended KOLOBASHKIN for his action and subsequently censured SHUVALOV for his indiscretion. On the dame day, IVANOV wrote a memorandum setting forthi:the facts of this inétdent and instructed each of his three deputies to call in employees under their jurisdiction respectively and read this memorandum to them singly. Informant said that this memorandum was read to him by SERGEI GABELKO, Chief of the Scientifie and Technical Branch, after which informant signed his name on the bottom of thermemorandum, indicating that he had been advised of its contents. Informant said that in this memorandum, Colonel IVANOV remarked that if SHUVALOV was indiscreet on one more occasion, he would be sent home to Moscow immediately. |
IVANOV also stated in this.:memorandum that he was issuing the same final warning to everyone in the NY Residency to comply with the new security measures and to be particulaty careful not to violate the one relating to discussion of KGB matters, even with other employees.

NY 100-134637
Informant said he did not know why KOLOBASHKIN decided to bring this matter to IVANOV's attention. He said KOLOBASHKIN has ingratiated himself with Colonel IVANOV, but has not increased his popularity among his co-workers in the KGB. Informant commented that he personally was upset by KOLOBASHEIN's action and did not like to see things of this kind take place. He said it was his personal feeling that KOLOBASHKIN should not have reported the matter and said that he now had a low regard for KOLOBPASHKIN and also disliked him intensely.
Lu wee 10 Lite of Gisocucsien whish eremptcd the informant to sugmest that perhaps KOLOBASHKIN could be arrested by the FBI. Informant commented that he would personally like to see this take place since he felt it would be just retaliation for what KOLOBASHKIN had done as regards SHUVALOV.
Informant then called attention to the fact that he has in the past advised interviewing agents of several meetings which ALEKSEY KOLOBASHKIN has had with an tnidentified representative of the CP, USA, Informant said that he is aware that KOLOBASHKIN met with this CP representative specifically for the purpose of transferring Large sums of money from the CP, USSR to the CP, USA. Informant said that he recalled στ on one occasion having advised the interviewing agents of a telephone numhor woere KOLOBASHKIN could be reached by Soviet Mission personnel Shortly before a scheduled meeting with a representative of the CP, δὰ, Informant said it was his opinien that if KOLOBASHKIN and a representative of the CP, USA were arrested at aneeting in which a large sum of money was being turned over by KOLOBASHKIN, a tremendous blow would be dealt to the KGB. Informant remarked that this was a matter strictly
|] within the province of the FRI. Informant said that he
did not presume to advise the FBI on how to run its intelligence operations and said that there perhaps were good reasons that this could not be done nov,

informant pointed out that an arrest of this type would receive a great deal ofmblicity, all of which would be detrimental to the Soviet Union and to its intelligence arm, the KGB. Informant Said this would become even more important because of the Dol te asamp) scat ions of such an arrest and pointed out™that the. Soviet Government would suffer a sreat loss of prestére. Informant pointed out that if*thrs occurred, the KGB itself would be seriously damased since WIKITA KHRUSHCHEY would probably do CVoRytudijs ld nic powcr to σα if aot ustuully destroy the KGB, mal

Informant also pointed out at this time that an arrest of this type focused on a KGB employee of the Security Branch would preatly relieve some of the altension which now surrounds the Scientific and Technical Branch because of the arrest of four personnel of this branch in October, 1963.
It is noted that the informant very often has requested the interviewing agents to have the FEI's attention focused on KGB employees within the Political and Security Brandiesfor this specific purpose, to dispel interest which has surrounded the Scientific and Technical Branch in the past.
For the information of the Bureau, the informant frequently makes Suggestions to the interviewing ageris about different personalities within the KGB in NY to concentrate attention on. He has even suggested at one time that it would be Beneficial if the FBI place ANATOLT GOLITZYN, the Soviet defector, in the firehouse at 67th Street, opposite the Soviet Mission building so that GOLITZYN

firsthand could identify KGB personnel entering and leaving the Soviet Mission. Suggestions of this type are made by the informant in an offhand, casual manner and are made frequently, as different personalities come to his mind,

FNTERNAL SECURITY - COMMUNIST i Ἷ 9 A
CG 5824-S* recently obtained the following information from Norman Freed, a functionary of the Communist Party (CP) of Canada.
Freed advised that he and a representative of the CP of Bulgaria visited Indonesia in January, 1964, as guests of the CP of Indonesia and were provided with an extended tour of Indonesia. They also had an opportunity to confer with Dipa Wiait, General Secretary, CP of Indonesia and member without portfolio’of the cabinet of τ΄ ‘President Sukarno. According to Freed, Aidit made the following comments.
Meeting Between President Sukarno_and U. S. Attorney General Kennedy President Sukarno told Aidit in early January, 1964, that \{
just prior thereto he had seen Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy / and was still in the process of continuing discussions with Kennedy. President Sukarno indicated he had promised Kennedy that there would be no confrontation of forces of Indonesia and Malaysia at that time. Sukarno explained to Aidit that he made this promise because Indonesia was not then in a position "to do it right now," and that "by avoiding
a fight with the Americans at that time, they had also avoided enabling the Americans to save the British in that area." Aidit described Sukarno as representing the "left section of the bourgeoise., "
Aidit noted that the CP of Indonesia has 55% of the Ariied Forces and 85% of the personnel of the Air Force “in its hand," He indicated that the Indonesian CP has 33 million members and Could draw 50% of the total vote in any election. However, he noted that τῆς. CP was not interested in urging that any elections be held. ~-Aidat remarked that his Party has established an extensive network of schools

throughout Indonesia, and indicated that the people must be educated so that they can understand Party material.

The Soviet Union, according to Aidit, is building capitalism and will someday “fully revert back to capitalism." He cited an example of having purchased a similar wearing apparel in both Moscow and New York City and reached the conclusions that the Soviets wanted to make more profit than the United States capitalists did on this same item.
Tour of Indonesia
Freed indicated there was much that he saw during his tour of Indonesia that was shocking. For example, he noted that when you walked into villages you saw people starving and in some villages half of the population is blind and suffering from glaucoma. He noted that a person thirty years of age is considered old.

In past Solo missions, we have prepared a list of specific targets to be assigned to our Solo informants involving matters of paramount interest to the Bureau and the United States Government. However, both NY 694-S* and CG 5824-S* have advised that such briefingsare of no value Since they have been assigned specific objectives by the CPUSA and to ri Gacenn Ἐ6 The COUSd Gout concerning matters which are of no c no concern to SA Could Seriously jeopardize their Security _ and could eve even result in their execution. Our Solo anformants have advised” that they are aware of the type of information which is of prime interest to us and will do everything possible, commensurate with their security, to obtain such information, However, they feel that the assign- ment of specific targets is of no value since they cannot risk taking any written notes relative to the targets and could not possibly remember all the specific objectives which we might assign to then.

Materiel in the ercioses rewsreandyn was sunniied by sources which have furnished reliable information in the past. The enclosed memorandum relates primarily to the view of Dipaz N. Aidit, General Secretary, Communist Party of Indonesia, and wember without portfolia of the cabinet of President Sukarno.
According to Aidit, President Sukarno had told him in early January, 1964, that he was then carrying on discussions with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and had promised Mr, Kennedy that there would be no confrontation of forces of Indonesia and Malaysia at that time. Aidit stated that Sukarno explained that he made this promise because Indonesia was not then in a position ‘tio do it right ; now,'t and that "by avoiding a fight with the Americans at ιν thet time, they had aiso avoided enabling the Americans to gave the British in that area.”
Aidit noted that the Indonesian Communist Party has 34 million members and has 55 per cent of the Armed ¥orces and 85 per cent of the persotmel of the Air Force
i. ‘in its hands." The Soviet Union, according to Aidit, is :

1, We are interested in leartiing every detail concerning Kolobashkin's contacts with an unidentified representative of the CPUSA,
2. We are exploring the laws to ascertain if | there are any statutes which would permit the arrest of Kolobrshkin and his unidentified CPUSA agent during a meeting at which | Kolobashkin would be transferring funds to his agent. It would he extremely helpful in this regard if Fedora could ascertain if Kolobashkin is receiving any classified documents duxing his meetings with his CPUSA agent which would make an arrest under the espionage statutes feasible,
3. Does Fedora know the name of Kolobashkin's CPUSA agent? If not, can he secure it?
4, Would αὶ close surveillance of Kolobashkin in any menner jeopardize the security of Fedora?
The results of your recontact with Fedora must be promptly furnished to the Bureau along with your recommendations regarding any action which may be warranted to protect the security of NY 694-55,
in order to give N¥ 694~S* the best possible security, you should comment specifically on the following for our consideration:
i. Would it be desirabie to place a close physical surveillance on Kolobashkin for the purpose of neutralizing him end thus force the KGB to assign a new agent to contact NY 4a S47
2. When should such a physical surveillance be initiated?
+ 3, How long should it be continued?
4. Would such action on our part endanger the sécurity of NY 694-S%?
Se Would such action on our part endanger the
‘decurity of Fedora?
You should be aware of the possibility that Fedora may be a plant and his comments relative to Kolobashkin may be designed by the KGB to check on the legitimacy of NY 694~S*

as a Soviet agent; therefore, your comments and recommendations to the Bureau must represent the best analysis of this situation by your most knowledgeable and experienced Agents,
NOTE:
On 3-27-64 Fedora mentioned several meetings which he has called to our attention involving Kolobashkin and an unidentified representative of the CPUSA. Fedora advised that he is aware of the fact that Kolobashkin has met with a CPUSA representative on several occasions specifically for the purpose of transferring large sums of money from the Soviets to the CPUSA, Fedora remarked that although there were probably good reasons for not doing so, it was his opinion that an arrest by the FBI of Kolobashkin and the CPUSA representative during a meeting at which money was being turned over, would be a tremendous blow to the KGB, New York Office was asked whether this statement indicated Fedora might have knowledge as to the identity of NY 694-S5*, Our New York Office stated it did not and pointed out that suggestions of this type are made by Fedora in “an off-hand, casual manner" and are made frequently as different personalities come to his mind. New York feels certain that there was no implication in Fedora's remarks indicating knowledge of the identity of NY 694-5* and that no Significance in this regard can be attached to his remarks. In spite of New York's evaluation of this matter, it is felt that we must continue to take every precaution with respect to our Solo operation, Therefore, New York is instructed as above noted to vigorously pursue this matter with Fedora in order that every possible measure can be undertaken to protect oux source,

A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, in early April, 1964, advised as follows:
Norman Freed, Communist Party (CP) of Canada representative to the World Marxist Review,” the official theoretical organ of the international communist movement which headquarters in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in mid-March, 1964, noted that recently, while passing through Moscow, USSR, he ,had been in contact with Timur Timofeev, also known as ‘fimm ma ennis. Timofeev was the son of Eugene Dennis, deceased, former General Secretary of the CP, USA, and is now 2 Deputy Director of the Institute for World Beonomy and International Affairs, an affiliate of the Academy of Science of the USSR, Moscow. According to Freed, he learned from Timofeev that that individual is now being groomed for the top position at the Institute for World Economy and International Affairs; that is, the position of Director of the Institute. He is being given time off from his present responsibilities at the Institute and is currently working in order to secure a Ph.D. Degree which would give him additional stature,
Timofeev is being groomed for this important job by the present head of the Institute who is a close friend of and personal adviser to Premier Nikita 8S. Khrushchev and A. I. Mikoyan, First Deputy Premier of the USSR, on economic natters.

Reference is made to previous communications with the Bureau involving NY 691-53 and his wife contemplating a trip abroad during . the first part of April, 1964. ἮΝ
In connection with obtaining a passport, one of the necessary » litems to be used for such purpose in proving identity, was a New ΕΝ York State driver's license under the maiden name of informant's wife. An attempt was made through contacts with the New York
State Motor Vehicle Bureau, both in New York City and Albany,
to obtain blank forms. It was determined that all of these
‘forms are maintained in Albany and that the Motor Vehicle Bureau . in Albany did not desire to give out any of these forms although ἮΝ they would be willing to make up whatever license was necessary. ὋΝ In view of the highly sensitive nature of this operation, it was deemed inadvisable to do so.

The only remaining source for these forms would be the κ᾿ πὶ

This is informative memo concerning comnent by Fedora as to the effect which an arrest of Soviet national Aleksey Kolobashkin while in act of transferring funds to Communist Party, 5 (CrusaA), would have on the Sovicts.
Raring interview 3-27-64 Fedora referred to several meetings about which he had told us involving Kolobashkin, sts (Committee of State Security) employee assigned Sovict UN Mission and an unknown representative of the CPUSA for the purpose of trans- ferring large sums of money from the Soviets to the CPUSA. Fedora then remarked that although here wre probably good reasons for not doing so, it was his opinion an arrest by the FBI of Kolobashkin and the CPUSA representative while the money was being turned over would be a tremendous blow to the KGB.
Fedora is not aware of the identity of the CP representative involved nor, of course, that he is our informant NY 694.5* and that we have coverage of such meetings. fn view of the value of NY 694.5* to the Bureau, it is not feasible to take any such action as proposed by Fedora, We will, of course, continue to follow the situation closely to assure the greatest advantage to the Bureau and the greatest disadvantage to the Soviets.

CG 5824-S* has pointed out that the total responsibility for carrying out the assignment could seriously jeopardize the over-all security of the Solo operation if anything adverse developed concerning any of the Bureau sources inserted into this scholarship program. CG 5824-~S* also observed that failure to bring NY 694-S*'s assignment to Gus Hall's attention would raise the risk of having a similar request transmitted to Hall from the Soviets by individuals who have contacts with the Soviets in New York City. CG 5824-S* stated he knew of no
one whe possessed the background and whom he felt could withstand the scrutiny such individuals would be subjected
to by the State Department prior to their appointments for such scholarship training.

Memorandum to Mr. W. C. Suilivan RE: SOLO
100—428091 Spx,
considers this chap a psychotic. She has had sufficient training and experience to respect her opinion,"
SAC Johnson furnished the following thoughts relative to this document: (1) The allegations of this unidentified purported CIA — could be the result of his amorous attention
toward Miss and could be nothing more than an impersonation; (2) if this individual is a CIA agent and this message is transmitted, he will be uncovered by the Russians and the CP of Japan and his life will be in jeopardy; (3) if CIA is advised and this individual is identified by them as a CIA agent and CIA pulls him out of his present assignment, there is a strong possibility that it could reveal a leak in our apparatus communications; and, (4) another possibility is that this could be an entrapment document to test the informant, The thought is that there may be no truth to the Statements made in the document and the entrapment would be if positive action is taken, Along this line, of course, must be considered the possibility of a Russian source in CIA itself who could possibly be aware of our dissemination of this information to CIA,
Recommendation of SAC Johnson
It appears to Mr. Johnson that we wiil probably have to transmit the tenor of this document at least to CIA; however, it was his recommendation that this be done at the highest level possible in order to protect our apparatus and at the same time determine fron CIA if they have a CIA agent who might fit this picture.
Observations Of Domestic Intelligence Division
We have carefully analyzed this matter and disagree completely with SAC Johnson's recommendation that CIA be advised. There is no way we can furnish this information to CIA in any form or at any level without seriously jeopardizing the security of the Solo apparatus. In considering the options, oné by oie, WETThd it would be completely illogical for us to tell CIA anything at all about this. For instance: (1) If the unknown man is not a CIA agent, we would place the security of our own informants in jeopardy for no purpose, (2) If the unknown man is a CIA agent, the CIA would certainly pull him out of his present assignment.
This action would most surely cast strong suspicion and could uncover
oe

Memorandum to Mr. W. C. Sullivan Spee, RE: SOLO 100~428091
our own vital sources. We have learned from past experience that CIA would take whatever action benefited CIA despite the fact we might give them this information with the stipulation they
not take any action which would jeopardize our sources, (3) We cannot instruct our informants to hold the document and not pass it on to the Russians since this action could possibly trap them and uncover their cooperation with the FBI,
document to the Soviets. This will be done. To do otherwise could lead them into a trap.

California. Thus, it a st he _ info ion in the afore- mentioned document is employed by the U.S. Government as of "Stars and Stripes" is factual.
We do not consider it prudent to make any outside inquiries concerning this matter since it is not known how this information came to the Party's attention and any inquiries made at this time could seriously jeopardize the security of NY 694-5%, especially in view of this informant's forthcoming Solo mission, aoe

RECOMMENDATION :
Our informants have no choice but to furnish this
It is recommended we take no action to advise CIA concerning this matter inasmuch as we cannot do so without placing our entire Solo operation in serious jeopardy. We will follow developments in this matter closely and further evaluate our position regarding Exnest Richter, who is evidently a U.S. Government employee, after NY 694-S*

wi
During discussion of this matter with NY 694 SEL both of them were of the opinion that since this matter was one of the utmost importance, its very nature would i demand that the Soviet request for assistance be relayed to and that there would be complete approval by GUS HALL, the Reha Party's General Secretary, before any action could be ’ taken WON thereon. If at the time HALL is provided with this Soviet request he should refuse to go along with it, the matter would then have to end at that point. Not to follow such course of action at such a time would raise the risk of having a similar request transmitted to HALL from the Soviets possibly by individuals who, themselves, might have contact with the

“there would be a greater reason for him to’ possibly know or "Ν to be able. to récommend such youths for the noted training; |
however, because he, too, has a Party position calling for
covert and discreet relationships, he must also be cautious | and avoid placing himself in a position which might expose his Party status. Because of this, then, and because of ἡ the nature of his. assignments, he, in reality, has: little | _ association with the type of individual who might be. characterized

In view of the foregoing, CG 6824-5# ‘stated that. he Ν
felt: that because larger: things were at stake, he could not.
justifiably recommend that either he or NY 694-S* attempt to

. advantageous. to exert some effort.and guidance. towards the —
admission of such individuals for this training. He noted. that
if the Bureau could find someone who qualifies with the proper |
working-class and political background and. had someone who might . be acceptable to the Party, perhaps then at some future time,
- through either CG 5824-S* or NY 694-S*, such individual's identity — ‘could be logically brought to their attention and through them - brought to. the Party's attention... In such a case they would , merly be informing HALL of . such an. individual with the decision | ..
and final approval as to whether he could be recommended to - the Soviets: being left to HALL, | —_
n connection with the above, σα 5824- 5". noted that as of 4/2/68 he had not personally discussed. this problem. ‘with - HALL for his opinion thereon. The. source was also ‘unaware at.
‘that time as to whether NY 694-S* may παν taken the matter | ΟΡ with HALL and if so what his reaction thereto may have been.

HALL gave to NY 694-S* a number of messages - one ciphered and the others coded - for transmission to the CPSU on microfilm:
1, The ciphered message, in plain text, is as follows: "To CCCPSU
"Since the McCarran Act in the USA prevents me from attending personally, and for my National Committee, the 7Oth birthday celebration of my dear friend and comrade KHRUSHCHOV, I have designated our most trusted and confidential comrade Brooks
¥ on that day to personally hand to KHRUSHCHOV my private birthday greetings which will express my deep, sincere feelings and thoughts to him for a Long life and good health, also conveying the correctness of the Marxist-Leninism line which he se gallantly symbolizes to our CP and international CPs.

3. A coded message, the plain text of which is as follows;
"To CCCPSU
"τ have handed to Joe North your message pertaining
to your first issue of 'Dialogue'’ concerning the
authors who you want listed, "Gus Hall”
(The above refers to a radio message from the Soviets, received on 4/14/64, which already has been transmitted to the Bureau, reflecting that the Soviets suggested that the Soviet writers ROBERT ROZHDESTVENSKY and MIKHAIL SHOLOKHOV be invited to write for the publication "American Dialogue” (Bufile 100- 35634) .)
4, A coded message, the plain text of which is as follows:

(The above refers to the informant's having given to his Soviet contact, at their last meeting, a revised open code from which informant had omitted to include code words for Puerto Rico and USA. The informant also had given his con- tact the incorrect code word for Helsinki.)
(Copies of the revised code used by NY 694-S*% in comtunications with the Sovicts arc being furnished to the Bureau and Chicago by separate communication,)
5. A coded message, the plain text of whch is as follows:
"To CCGPSU
"Permit me to comment on the false report of Khrushchov's death, which shook the USA and brought to light the delicate balance of forces here. This dastardly rumor had significant affect upon the country. As soon as this report came over the national radio and television, I received many telephone calls from radio and television companies, bidding for my time. In one case, the National Broadcasting Company asked that I sign an exclusive contract for a one half hour broadcast on the effects of Khrushchev's death on our land and on the world. Needless to say, the New York Stock Market dropped sharply on the
day of the report,

Beneath the above message appears a cartoon, depicting MAO Tse-tung holding in his hand a poster on which appeared the picture of KHRUSHCHEV under which was written "Nuclear Test Ban Treaty - More Consumer Goods”, In the cartoon; MAO, speaking to two o£ his comrades, states "That's how decadence sets in - first he's in favor of living and now better living."

9. A document entitled:
"TO END POVERTY AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE U.S. "Economic Program of the Commmist farty, U.S.A."
and a document entitled: 'The Economic Outlook",
According to HALL, these are rough drafts of documents prepared at the recent NEC meeting held in NYC during early April, 1964. Copies of the above-mentioned documents are enclosed herewith for the Bureau and Chicago.
(N¥ 694-S* pointéd out that to disseminate these documents at this time undoubtedly would jeopardize his and .- CG 5824-S*' security.)
HALL instructed NY 694-S* to "speak for him’ in Moscow, explaining HALL's views with respect to matters of interest to the CPUSA and the CPSU. He told NY 684-S* to express his appreciation to the Soviets for all the help and cooperation that have been given to the CPUSA. HALL further told the informant to advise the Soviets that HALL has "no complaints’ as regards the Soviets,
He instructed the informant to give to the CCCPSU a copy of the book "Judaism With Embellishment," by T. K. KYCHKO, along with a copy of a recent documentation of the book by the mimedgraphed copy of comments and translations of various chapters and cartoons in the book. HALL stated that this had ἣ been prepared at great expense by the Jewish Minorities Research and that the Soviets should be toid that this group had gone to
ps π.-...-.
committee had gone in conducting a campaign against the So#et Union and in charging the Soviet Union with bang anti-Semitic and persecuting Jews.
NY 100-134637
He atated that the CCCPSU should be told that this committee is using the above named book in furthering the cold war. HALL stated that the Soviets however should be told that the book had lost much of its "sting" as a result of HALL's statement protesting publication of the book and the Soviet’ statement published in Pravda admitting that the book should not have been published,
HALL's statement and the Soviet statement in Pravda were effective also in that Associate Justice ARTHUR GOLDBERG, who was to make a speech before a Jewish body at the time, had to change his speech and remove from it much of the sharp criticism which he had leveled at the Soviets.
HALL desired that NY. 694-S* call to the attention of the CPSU that the Rev. MILTON TSA MESON has yet to receive an invitation to visit the Soviet Union, despite the fact that according to the Soviets such an invitation had been sent to him. According to HALL, he was advised by JAMES JACKSON, "The Worker” Editor, that as of April 16, 1964, GALAMISON had not received an invitation in the mail from the Sovits to visit the Soviet Union, HALL suggested that the Soviets will be making a bad mistake
if they do not send such an invitation to GALAMISON, whom he described as an outstanding Negro leader.
HALL also instructed NY 694-S* to teil the CCCPSU that Freedomways magazine is a most successful publication, is highly publicized and has on its staff many intellectual writers. He referred to the readers of;Exeedomways magazine as “intellectuals”. HALL instructed NY 694-S* to suggest that the Soviet writers _ union or their journalistic institution invite the staff of ——. Freedomways, headed by Mrs. JAMES J ; to visit the Soviet Union, He stated that Mrs. JACKSON/be permitted to designate others among the Negro progressives and intelléctuals to accompany her to the Soviet Union,
With regard to the Catholic question, HALL instructed NY 694-S* to tell the Soviets that "the young progressive priests today are talking to the communists.”
i With regard to trade unions, HALL instructed NY 694-} | to tell the Soviets that the Party has succeeded in making in-
roads into thaxunited Auto Workers Union and is beginning to . win back outstanding leaders who have been lost in the past. ——-—
es
meeting between former CPUSA functionary JO “WILLIAMSON, 7
who is currently in England and is a member Of thé British -~-— Party, and HALL. HALL suggested that while en route from Moscow to the USA, NY 694-S* might go to England to contact WILLIAMSON
regarding this matter.
_, HALL instructed NY 694-S* that while in Cuba, he contact BEATRICE, JOHNSON, the CPUSA representative,there, and ascertain | what she might be ablé to do about arranging contact between the oe CPUSA and the South American and Latin American Communist Parties. “i” He suggested that NY 694-S* not only talk to BEATRICE JOHNSON ro about this matter, but also to representatives of the Cuban CP,
HALL requested that while in Cuba NY 694-S* attempt to arrange a "system of consultation between the Parties in the Americas", HALL further suggested that NY 694-S* try to arrange that BEATRICE JOHNSON make periodic trips to Canada where she might personally meet HALL and furnish to the latter reports of interest to the CPUSA. HALL suggested that JOHNSON could fly from Cuba to Canada.
HALL requested that NY 694-S* ascertain in Cuba why there had been no mass reaction or fight as a result of the coup d'etat in Brazil in_favor of GOULART and his party. HALL stated he wished to know why the party failed to "fight the militarists in Βεαζ 1",
NY 694-S* was told by HALL to inform BEATRICE JOHNSON and the Cuban CP leadership that the most recently formed Puerto Rican CP is "a fake" and has only 12 members, HALL stated that
NY 100-1534637
there are only small, insignificant groups of communists in Puerto Rico and that the CPUSA is attempting to unify these groups into one Party. ; .- Referring to BLASZROCA, Cuban CP functionary, HALL told NY 694-S* to ignore Ἔ the [eader completely, He said that ROCA _jis."a crook”, ROCA, according to HALL, is angry with HALL \ because HALL learned years ago that ROCA had been absconding \with funds that had been sent to the Cuban CP by the CPUSA and ,had stopped sending money after learning of ROCA's "crookedness", j; ROCA, according to HALL, has been the "iron curtain” between ‘the CPUSA and the Cuban CP.
With regard to the letter (mentioned in referenced airtel) that NY 694-S* is to deliver to CASTRO, HALL instructed that NY 694-S* not exhibit the said letter to BEATRICE JOHNSON. In talking to CASTRO, NY 694-S* is not to refer to any aid given by the CPUSA to the Cuban CP in the past. He is to talk with GASTRO only on the basis of "the new era’ and of what the future should be, rather than what the past was.
